The Minnesota State School for Dependent and Neglected Children was located in Owatonna, Minnesota from 1886 to 1945. During those years, it was home to a total of 10,635 children who were orphans or had been abused or abandoned.

In recent years, the State School cemetery has been restored, and a small museum is located on the former State School grounds. Several former residents have written memoirs of their time at the school.
